Domestic Ivory Market

Proceeding contribution from Victoria Borwick (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Domestic Ivory Market.

May I draw attention to what my hon. Friend said earlier? She actually said clearly—I absolutely agreed with her as, I am sure, many did—that genuine experts can tell the difference between genuine works of art. As others in this room have said, the market in the far east is for shiny, modern, contemporary pieces. That is entirely different from the antique ivory sold by our dealers and exhibited in our museums here. To quote my hon. Friend, genuine experts can easily see the difference.
